[00:00:00] Hi, I'm Brandon and I love Lifetime Christmas movies I'm Patrick Serrano, and I am a lifetime movie expert I'm Dan, and I despise lifetime Christmas movies, and this is the deck Go Go Santa you're flying in the sky getting so high high and alive not like that though

[00:00:25] He's above board. He's super cool and super Not high Everybody welcome back I got from that was Santa is real but does not do drugs. He doesn't do drugs Okay, he is high in the sky, but he's still Level still level still sober mind

[00:00:46] That rumor I've never heard that rumor about Santa so I think we're good. Yeah He's got a busy night. He had that one year. There were a couple of rumors, but yeah Yeah, when it was like the early 2000s it was like lindsay paris. Yes

[00:01:02] They would go out nights on the town. That's right. They survived y2k. They said why not? You know we all we were all there Um Speed you know who else was there the ladies of the 80s Is the it's the movie that we're talking about today

[00:01:18] I got the ladies of the 1980s Is that the idea that we're going for in the movie or is this just what we're referencing? Yeah 1980s is is the The era that you're not in the 80s. They're in the now time

[00:01:32] But they were prominent in the 80s and now they're in their actual 80s I don't know. No, it's more about there. I think it was the prime wasn't okay, right?

[00:01:42] Yeah, it's not like uh, what's that movie with uh, jane fonda and lily tomlin and oh 80 for brady for brady Yeah, that was hilarious. I did not see it. Was it really hilarious or are you doing a bit? I mean, I didn't laugh out loud

[00:01:59] Um, I was at this I this movie aside from the lifetime christmas movie sex scene history, which I saw that on the on the interwebs Uh, this is the only lifetime movie. I've ever seen on social like people talking about on social media

[00:02:12] Like I don't typically see anything but you know, this is it. It's a big deal This is a big the big deal this year. So uh, yeah, and uh, we can we can jump right in too

[00:02:22] Who's in here and it's a big deal you tell me who's in here and I'll tell you how many of them. I'm familiar with Yeah, oh, this is a fun game. So bran. I'm gonna tell you the person and you tell me what what they're notable for

[00:02:35] Okay, got it. Uh, lawni anderson young in the restless Um close w k r p since then Okay, yeah, uh morgan fairchild young in the restless Um, nope. Uh, I don't know what she's from old navy commercials

[00:02:57] She was in a soap opera. Was it not young in the restless I think maybe she was in young in the restless or something. Somebody will tell us, uh Linda gray young in the restless She was in dalas. She was in dalas. Yeah, the original and the reboot

[00:03:14] both Donna mills Donna mills from uh from uh, Young in the restless. I'm just getting word I I don't know days of our lives. Yeah, she's I think days, but I don't remember her from days

[00:03:30] Donna did that was in some like woody allen movies like she's like an actual film actress Yeah, she's no like marlena. You know, and you really gotta scroll through these iadp Yeah, who are you looking at ladies of the 80s after all fair child

[00:03:47] We are not even past the year 2000 yet. We have been scrolling for for hours And then finally our last lady of the 80s general hospital general hospital nicole chariden Nicola chariden. Oh, I love general hospital All right, so the fact so the whole bit in this

[00:04:04] Movie is that they were all um So a prominent soap opera Uh stars in the 80s So is the is that true of of all of these actors as well like that that's what they're known for

[00:04:20] Not nicola chariden. Nicola chariden. I know what she's from. I actually know what she's from. It's uh desperate housewives Right, but in the 80s in the 80s I think she was like an ingenue and stuff like or a sexy lady

[00:04:33] She was an ingenue and sexy lady, of course you were that you were gonna say that well and I yes I of course but um So Yeah, but some of them are a soap opera

[00:04:44] Stars. Yeah, some of them are soap operas or have gone on to guests appear on soap operas or make up Or at least do like a nighttime soap like a dallas or a uh, what's the other one dallas and uh

[00:04:57] Just spots spots landing is but I never I never saw the desperate housewives Desperate housewives and that wasn't that just like a prime time soap opera soap. Yeah Yeah, like higher quality because it's prime time but

[00:05:10] Same base. That's what Dallas was prime time soap. Yeah. All right. So yeah, we're moving we're moving and grieving. I just like yeah, I You you know immediately that these women

[00:05:22] Were obvious they had they had they were obviously a big deal. I just wasn't I wasn't familiar with them But didn't they didn't stop me from enjoying them of together They're they're fun in this movie, but I just didn't know who they were and I'm sorry

[00:05:34] Yes, and in the synopsis that I have written for for today I only refer to them as their character names because I mean as their real names because I did not know the character names and

[00:05:44] It would have been impossible. There's too many there's too many to even show to be fair also No one on this current episode is over 40 years old. So when they were in their heyday, we were anywhere from zero to Seven years old max

[00:05:58] When they were in their heyday in the 80s. So we don't really it's not really fair to ask us You know to be like Officianados or like to really know that stuff So the the test is really going to be like

[00:06:12] Does this movie work for like a me like that does not know anything I didn't recognize any of these women But the draw here is these Soap opera stars that are together again and we love it. It isn't going to work for the average person

[00:06:27] That's going to be the test of this movie Right and just the average viewer even know what a soap opera is I mean like if you're coming in like uh, like We're this type of genre doesn't exist in today's world

[00:06:40] Um, and I think the movie does a good job setting it up jumping like right into the thing They they started for like a hollywood like e hollywood true story or some You know one of those news shows access hollywood type of thing and they uh

[00:06:54] They're talking about the the soap opera called The Great Lakes the Great Lakes That was the show and all of these women that are going to be in this movie were on the Great Lakes

[00:07:08] And there was like some a lot of them had like a falling out or something like that But somehow they have gotten them all to agree almost all of them to agree to come back To do a live for reasons. I don't know a live episode

[00:07:25] Of The Great Lakes Wow Yeah, and the the producer slash writer of the script was also in The Great Lakes his name is alex He was a child star on that show and he uh wanted to bring like everyone back together because he has like fond memories of

[00:07:42] Of acting and all that stuff right he was on the show as a kid correct Yeah, and I I think nicolette sherry and was his was his tv mom or something like that. Yeah, they do like a sweet little thing Yeah, so uh, we

[00:07:56] We see like the set we see like him setting up and you know, he's a little stressed He has the director come in a friend from college from film school her name's now And uh, she is like, you know

[00:08:09] Not really that known in the industry, but he's giving her a chance and apparently they have like a little thing in college It is clear right from the get go that these two are Could could hook up at any moment any moment

[00:08:22] They they are just like looking at each other like with eyes the entire time They are next to each other. The well and not just with eyes. It is a full on Looking at the booty like he's bending over to pick something up and she is like

[00:08:40] Staring at his booty it is still with eyes But her eyes his butt so Half the amount of eyes as they're as when they're looking at you got it. I'm tracking. Yes. Thank you

[00:08:52] I didn't want anyone to be confused. Um, she is still looking at them at the booty With her eyes got it. Oh, and he and he's like, are you checking me out? And she's like, heck, yeah, I am They they're just Ready to rock and roll anytime anytime

[00:09:08] So, uh, the scene is set now all the divas are coming to set we have morgan fairchild She is playing like a new york girly

[00:09:16] She's on the phone with her agent alex mappa who literally is just in this movie on like a zoom call for a couple of scenes and She has like a secret that she's keeping

[00:09:28] And she also what has like she talks about her tonys and ammies like all the time all her awards She like is just dropping like remember when I won the tony for whatever It was crazy like there's a lot of inside jokes in this movie

[00:09:44] And she was dropping the most Inside inside jokes. I guess yeah, maybe Is that her thing morgan fairchild? Is she known for winning a lot of awards?

[00:09:55] No, I mean well, I do have an I do have an awards game that we'll get to later. Oh good. I love awards games But yes, uh, she This is the question I had I wonder if any of these people actually have awards, you know

[00:10:08] Yeah, and uh, they do from a from a ranging scale. So we'll we'll get there Next we meet donna mill uh donna mill mills donna mills donna mills Yeah, I forgot the s there. Uh, she's the mother terry serve the group

[00:10:24] She like is all about her public image. She has adopted five children They do like an they do like an angeline a jolly bit here like about Adopting kids and stuff like that From war to our own country specifically. Yes

[00:10:37] And uh, that's been like what she's been doing after and she has a big social media presence Um, niggal at sherdon is the only holdout for the reunion. She

[00:10:48] Has like a big I don't know what like it must be a makeup line or something and she works with her real son and She's like talking to her son having a nice moment and she's like hold on son and she picks up the phone

[00:11:00] She's like kanichiwa and then they like cut away. So she's she's a global entrepreneur. Yeah, okay. She's global She's international international You might be wondering there's a couple ladies left lani anderson where she where what she doing She is uh straight off of a set from celebrity survivor

[00:11:20] She comes in uh, you know safari hat and like the safari outfit You know how when you are done with survivor you wear safari garb? That's what you do people know

[00:11:32] That you were on survivor would they know I can tell where the garb I can tell because you look like you steve urwin That's how you know It's celebrity survivor. So she's like oh, I got the hut from lisa van der pump and blah blah blah

[00:11:47] Again inside jokes we uh and lani anderson. I think is my favorite one of these ladies just from previous Works, I've just seen her in other stuff. She is she is fun in this movie. She seems like she's having a good time

[00:12:00] She's the one I'm most familiar with I'd say Our final lady diva of the 80s is linda gray. She is married to chris frackens from blue lagoon We all know that movie of course Yeah, and he has clothes on for this movie. So I was very disappointed

[00:12:17] No loincloth no loincloth I know I'm like I think that he acted in every movie in a loincloth Yeah, I mean I've only seen him in blue lagoon. That was the choice you made that's the brook shields movie, isn't it?

[00:12:31] Blue one yeah, once it works for you just stick to it like stick to what works. That's right Yeah, can you imagine showing me like and when do I put the loincloth?

[00:12:40] I was this you know my thing. This is your thing where I wear my thing. I do no tom cruise runs in every movie I at some point do have to wear a loincloth exactly yes

[00:12:51] There she's like the most normal of the lady. She's like not really in the industry anymore And she has turned to like a lifestyle guru like a health Uh health and wellness with her husband and she has a secret

[00:13:04] fast food addiction don't we all uh, don't we all know That's a secret. She eats she eats in her car She's very ashamed of of all the the sugary sweet thing she likes and she's trying to keep up appearances of being a healthy person

[00:13:19] Like when a paltrow, but she can't do it Which is a funny bit I think Uh the ladies, uh, they all come and meet the director meet um the producer And they're less interested in their vision in the movie

[00:13:33] They want to know like what's going on because they can tell their vibe and they immediately pick up on the On the tension there. So though these these ladies of the 80s

[00:13:43] Are now very invested in the going ons of the producer and director as as one way as you would be Yeah, think of like five like mom matchmakers coming in and just like really going for it and they're all divas Even yeah, they are Yeah

[00:14:04] Take a peek at the hat. Uh, if you'd need to have any questions you let me know but I suffice yeah Nicola chaired and shows up and she's the one holdout who didn't show up

[00:14:14] But somehow she's been convinced and Donna Mills is very upset because they had a falling out back in the 80s Uh, they used to be best friends like party girls and now they're they're not friends They don't they don't talk

[00:14:28] John and Mills gets so upset. She feels ambushed. She yells at the director and she quits Yes, which causes dominoes of everyone else to quit right? Of course it is put it's putting the entire

[00:14:40] Project in jeopardy. Oh no, and you hate that and we don't really get any Answers as to why she ended up showing up aside from she wasn't going to be left out

[00:14:49] Uh, but like the producer didn't know director didn't know one knew she just showed up to set Which I can't imagine is how any of that works, but what do I know? That's how that's how I show up recordings

[00:15:03] You don't want me here too bad. I have the link. I have the address. I'm coming Yes, um and everybody leaves except lani anderson who pitches that uh, she would love to Play all the parts and just be a character that has multiple personalities disorder

[00:15:21] Um, which is great. She's like i'm really going for that Emmy because I never won the emmy, uh, but I did get slimed on the kids choice awards

[00:15:30] I mean come on isn't that the dream that is a dream of my dream of mine is to be slimed on the kids choice awards Which should you rather have sliming kids choice awards or statue in downtown greenville?

[00:15:41] Oh, that's tough. You got to go with slime, right? I think you got to go with slime You can show that anywhere. Yeah, you know for all the watch it I would I would start every conversation was before I talked to you

[00:23:48] And they really got them. They really just shater They are interrupted by mel singing oh christmas tree while crying by the fireplace. Oh my gosh And she is cracking Nuts with a nutcracker, but not how you would actually do it with the mouth

[00:24:05] And you pulled the lever she is smashing them with the the nutcracker like oh she's the base of it She's just hammering him home. She's doing wow I'm like somebody needs to tell her how to use that thing. She is

[00:24:18] Exerting too much effort, but she's also getting our aggression so she feels better because Alex doesn't really like her and he like totally friendzoned her and was like thanks pal And she's like what the heck like I thought we were like vibing well and

[00:24:35] Is we find out that they like Hooked up back in college and then he just disappeared Like just dosed out early the next day and like they never talked again now We do find out the reason why I what In your experience with these movies if somebody

[00:24:57] Deuces out the next day with no explanation. What happened in their life? Ghost they had like a promotion or someone in their family needed something from them. Yeah, the death situation. Yeah, that's a Yeah, there you go. Yes both his parents died Both of them

[00:25:14] It was a helicopter skiing accident again. Oh my gosh. Yeah, I know man That's tough to be careful. You gotta be careful. You gotta be careful. I gotta do it I gotta get a whale together. That's uh, yeah

[00:25:27] Just there's no there's no there's too many of these accidents in these movies to To not take this seriously. You know what you don't have a will No, yeah, I got one. I got a will man. Yeah, it doesn't help me any if my wife and I die

[00:25:38] You're getting my kids. Congratulations. Oh, you know I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. Why do I have to be kidding? You get all the debt. Why are you kidding though? I feel like I'm a pretty good option

[00:25:51] I mean they would have told you I was kidding about surprising you not that you're not capable I was kidding that I would have just done that and not told you want them anyway Wow, you guys you guys are like Donna Mills and nicolette shared

[00:26:05] They call us that around the office. They call me nicolette. That's just something that they do It'd be a shame for them to like, you know have a loving feel it already knows and they're already comfortable with us

[00:26:15] And yeah, I'm just saying I have friends you if I had done that. No, no save it save it I know I heard you loud and clear bucko You know what that helps me it saves a conversation that I was seeing at the table, right?

[00:26:29] Uh, they actually don't have any desire to do that weirdly enough. It's it hasn't been a problem So we haven't had to put in sort of anything Okay, so

[00:26:40] The ladies of the 80s are hearing this that now it's upset about all this similar to you all being upset in this moment They solve it with a makeover montage Hey, maybe you guys just need a makeover montage and you'll feel better Um

[00:26:55] It is a diva montage because they really deck her out with like the outfit and she's got like Oh, the dress was crazy. I mean it it's got like a deep cut out v and she she comes to set looking

[00:27:08] Like she should be on the set not directing And I mean, I guess you could direct in whatever you want, but I I feel like a formal dress would be not comfortable to work in um You know, I'd say just just thinking but alex is like hubba hubba

[00:27:22] What's going on and she thinks she's nailed it But then a christmas ornament breaks from the tree and he totally loses interest in her and he's like Oh no my set is ruined and she gets really upset again because even at her

[00:27:38] diva makeover she can't keep his attention. He's a bit of a workaholic He has a a bit of a problem. I'd say just just you know in the few scenes. I see him in

[00:27:47] Yeah, yeah, so the ladies of the 80s, uh, they haven't done rehearsal or anything, but they do a lot of press. They do a lot of press They get like this whole thing with the guy again The the entertainment guy christmas is fast approaching

[00:28:03] The script isn't finished yet. They haven't done any rehearsal But we should do we should start promoting it for sure the press needs to happen That's what we do around here We just do press over here And they yeah, they do it

[00:28:17] And now starts flirting with the interviewer and alex gets jealous And all the girls are like yes, you're doing it. You're making yourself seem desirable to make him jealous That's what we would do in a soap opera. Uh, so

[00:28:33] We finally do get a rehearsal. Uh, there's a whole stunt double bit Where Morgan Fairchild falls down the stairs and then everyone's like, are you okay? And then popped up the guy it is very funny. I I laughed out loud at the scene because I didn't realize

[00:28:50] I I didn't realize what was happening entirely and I thought she had actually fallen down the stairs and it just looked really bad And then it turns out it was on purpose, which is great like it's a very funny

[00:29:03] Yeah, the dude in the wig uh, because she goes Oh Ducks out the way of the camera you see this person tumbling down the stairs. It's a great scene great scene I mean, that's really how they used to do it back in the soap opera days. I mean

[00:29:17] falling down the stairs is a lifetime tradition and uh It should be an every Christmas movie. I think a tradition unlike any other like us going to break on deck the hallmark nailed it

[00:29:34] I mean, they don't give those awards up to just anybody. They don't give anything like that's something You gotta burn. That's exactly right Um How dare you go to break when I was just getting to the hunky house boys. Well, let's get to the hunky house boys

[00:29:46] I wanted house boys. Yes They do a casting for hunky house boys and three like Okay, two hunky men would three men walk in two of them are hunky and uh, I'll let you decide for yourself Do you know who you are unhunky house boy? want to be

[00:30:05] Yes, and uh, you know, they walk in slow motion all the ladies are like fanning themselves. It's very campy very, uh, I love that. Uh, and then they work on the script again. They were like actually reading lines and

[00:30:18] Uh, the script is not going well. It doesn't seem to be uh, oh, it just doesn't seem like them It doesn't seem like The ladies of the 80s that we know and love, you know, yeah, yeah It's falling a little flat

[00:30:33] So, uh, the ladies and alex have like a drunken night together and rekindle like their uh, uh Co-worker vibes and they have they're like he's like very inspired by them and everything So, uh, the next day lani anderson wakes up early to like get coffee

[00:30:49] And she catches linda gray eating the junk food and she's like, oh my gosh. What are you doing? And linda gray has a breakdown. She's like, I can't do it anymore. I'm a fraud I don't want to eat all this tofu

[00:31:01] Um, this is when they all start opening up and like telling their truths and like all of them every single one of them And uh, lani anderson takes off her blonde wig and underneath is a gray wig So she has gray hair

[00:31:16] But it was gotta be honest her gray hair looked great. It looked great. She's pulling the heck out It was a wig for sure. She was pulling the heck out of it. She was pulling the heck out of it Yeah, yes, she sure was

[00:31:27] Fairtiles big secret is that she wears well you not let me costume jewelry Unbelievable will you not leave your kids with me because you're worried that my English won't be affected. Well, that that's part of it That's fair. Yeah Yes I didn't mean it from you

[00:31:47] The the why she's pulling the heck out of it. She's pulling the heck out of it Yes, finally donna mills, uh comes clean about why she left the show all those years ago and um

[00:32:02] You might be thinking it's gonna be for a dumb reason. It's gonna be for something that doesn't matter Yeah It's kind of a bombshell It is it is I was like, what the heck she slept with niggal at charitans fiance, oh my gosh That is a bombshell

[00:32:24] and and I'm like Something similar has happened to me in the past few years where uh, my best friend slept with uh, my boyfriend and uh, You know, I'm still upset about it, but nicolette shared in is do we unpack this?

[00:32:39] We don't need to get into it, but we are sorry. That's oh my goodness. Thank you. Thank you. Yes Look, it's been dramatic. It's been dramatic. Um, it was just one night

[00:32:49] Right nicolette shared and basically says like well, I'm glad you didn't tell me at the time because Uh, I wouldn't have married him and had my son and had my great business So I'm a list response

[00:33:03] The order into the bridge the only thing the the the only reason that she can respond like that is because she already knows That her ex like slept with everybody and so it's like what's one more?

[00:33:14] But it was a bombshell revelation that I just felt like they did deal with even a little bit. She's like, yeah The best part about the reveal is like it's all like a little bit like tense and serious, right?

[00:33:28] And then out of nowhere linda gray is like wait a minute. I slept with your fiance too So funny Wow golden golden girls moment very golden girls moment And uh, I love that. So the live show happens. Uh, it's full of melodrama, of course

[00:33:46] But the chat there's a live chat similar to us how we have a live chat And the chat isn't into it the chat's like we don't like this because they're all just like they're like just kind of being

[00:33:57] Nice like it's like isn't it so great to be back. Well, they're they're doing that soap opera talk words like your cousin Was my step sister and I hate you and but it's not really leading to anything

[00:34:10] That the the chat wants the drama the chat wants them to be b words, of course Yes, and they they are not they are not that but they were like, you know what we can do that if that's what they want

[00:34:23] Um a b-fest if you will a b-fest ramble fest Yes, they uh, yeah, they start throwing insults at each other and like calling each other like walking mattresses and stuff like that um, and Then they get into like a food fight like now

[00:34:40] I want to talk about this food fight because I don't know if you had the same thought I did because it starts fun, right? Like whipped cream in the face pies pies pies and then um great, um The the the gray hair uh, monnie anderson monnie anderson

[00:34:56] pours the heck out of it pours a gravy boat on top of who who she my charity Gravy I I wouldn't take fondly of that and this is all improv. You wouldn't take imagine like pies fun

[00:35:13] Gravy a full gravy boat just streaming down your face. There are some pies that may be worse than some gravies She seems she her face gravy Her face when the gravy gets put on her It does seem like we're doing this now. We're doing gravy now

[00:35:31] It seemed like nicola jaredon did not agree to that before filming In monnie anderson, which is like see you later girl. It's gravy time. It's gravy o'clock gravy time I love gravy. Um, I love gravy too

[00:35:45] Alex thanks the ladies. He's like you guys are amazing. That was such so good It went so well and the divas are like we're starting a nonprofit called the divas foundation And then they uh, they set him on his way to tell now

[00:36:01] How he feels and he has this whole like pool side like thing set up and it's like very nice But I've been to la pools and they're very dirty and gross. So I wouldn't like this. Um, and yeah

[00:36:15] There's yeah, it's la is just oh so gross. Anyways now is uh, Like she's wowed by everything. She's like this amazing. They kiss Um, and then he tells her that his mom died and all that stuff that we already talked about but before they go

[00:36:31] She says the following they kiss and or they're about to kiss and she says oh Romeo Romeo Where for art thou my Christmas day? Romeo imagine Can you imagine kissing someone and they say that to you?

[00:36:46] I just got the like the awkward the cringy chills, you know, like this like the Oh man And right after he's like, you know what? Uh, my uh, my other parents just Gotta go. They're dead again. Oh my goodness. It's so weird

[00:37:04] Uh, we get a brief news update from like the news thing the access Hollywood thing And they're like the show has been picked up for the first live ever stream soap opera

[00:37:14] Which I think is actually a kind of good idea like let's take it back to when soap operas are filmed live That will be fun. Yeah, I've streamed live live reactions. I do like the idea. Yeah

[00:37:23] And uh, lani Anderson finally gets that daytime emmy for her brave performance as a gray haired woman Oh, how dare that's that's unbelievable to step out like that with gray hair I know I know it's beautiful. Uh, yeah, and that that's the movie

[00:37:38] So, uh, we'll we'll start with dan poured up means you're into it put a cork and it means you're not into it What does you think of this stuff? I it it's evident that these ladies are having fun doing this movie

[00:37:50] It's evident from the way you guys are talking that they're having fun And it's also evident that if you know who these women are then the jokes are landing

[00:37:58] Um, and so I always like to see a movie where people are having fun and executing the thing they've set out to execute Is it for me? No what I have enjoyed it. No personally i'm inclined to put a cork in this but I feel like

[00:38:12] For like if the degree of difficulty was a five of five they they nailed it They they did everything within that to get all the points. So on the merit of that alone. Let me pour it up I'm gonna pour it up

[00:38:26] Okay, oh great. Yeah, brand. What are you thinking? Yes? I don't know these women And uh, I didn't really have any any sort of expectation going into this But I thought that they were so much fun together. Like I I really enjoyed this movie surprisingly enough

[00:38:44] Uh, some things I didn't totally get but when the when the ladies of the 80s are just hanging out I'm having a blast So yeah, I I'm pouring it up. I I enjoyed it a lot All right Wonderful. Yeah, so um, like I said like this movie

[00:39:04] Was the big feature for a lifetime for this year You know, they spent the big bucks to get all these ladies together and um, I was looking into like the the Director and writers the writers actually worked on golden girls. Like oh, wow

[00:39:20] Three episodes at the very end, you know, they're like they're probably like young staff writers at the time So they're kind of like flexing those muscles. So I I have to like gay Pour it up. Otherwise I might go to gay purgatory

[00:39:32] I've heard about that. Yeah, gurgatory. That's a tough place to be The plot was thin and I think I feel like the young actors could have been uh, better cast Someone more like engaging or something. But yeah, it's all about the divas. So all about the port ups

[00:39:47] Pour it up for the divas 100% 100 Fascinating, uh, pour it up. It's a poor. It's a triple pour. Uh, be careful might run out I don't know. I was trying to do something there. It didn't work We're gonna be back next week with another one. Yes, chef Christmas
